Thread: a quick hello

Hiya i just thought this is as better place as any to introduce myself. I am 26 and have visited and lived in Thailand over the past few years. When i did live there for an extended amount of time i was a pro muay thai boxer. I have a Thai missus, shes a student and it was more of an accidental meeting. I didn't plan to get a girlfriend in BKK but these thngs happen. We visit eachother very often and i have never had a problem with the visa process. We own a farm in my girlfriends village and it does quite well profit wise, i am hoping to build a house there also next year.

Hello sweets.

Welcome fingers, it's nice to have another newbie around here.

Farmer Giles welcome.

Oh Arg (Farmer speak for Welcome!)

^ Whenever I meet a farmer they normally greet me by saying "Get off my land!"

Anyway Hi FiP

Laugh all you want boys but fingers in pies is how money is made. I initially thought the farm would be a weird idea but it works.

No ridicule from me. If you are making money from farming, particularly if you are running things from Brum, I'm genuinely impressed. I'd like to hear more in due course.

Why? Who's the other one?

Welcome Fingers.

The farm i run is a pig farm, i check the money side and my missus the labour side as she can visit on the weekends. We purchase pigs as "babies" and after three months of feeding them we sell them onto a BKK slaughter house. Its ran quite simple and is a one man opperation, he is a family member so labour costs are kept quite low.

yes sir i do, like i said also i was a boxer and the head has it's days when it can't find the word that would best suit the subject. I appologise

My Head is the same but generally after a bottle of red

He is right. Open a pie shop and then go to all the other pie shops and stick your mitts in their stock.

Sounds like another budding Bangkok Phil....

Errm ok

Hi finger in pig, welcome over here...

Made a typo mistake !! sorry dear Fingers in Pie...

Can i ask where about you do this farming ? you sale in Bkk you said, so i suppose you nearby there...

We purchase from time to time a pig to stick on the bbq and we hire a guy to rotate it for the day... cost us round 4 k for a piggy...

They do piglets on bbq at entrance of the Kao yai national park, weird it is few weeks old piglets, so small ! i could not try this one out, seemed really to young and small...

It is very difficult to bbq an entire, adult pig on a spit, that's why suckling pigs are preferred.

Hi Finger in pee's pig!

Yes for the large ones you splay the pig out with bamboo sticks and just turn it every so often.

Some things are difficult for some, but it looked like easy for my staff...

You need a full day to cook this thing properly ! They started at 8 in the morning...

some entertainment is necessary for the success of the story...

and here it is may be 8 Pm and the piggy is still pink not well cooked, but this does not matter for the hungry guys...
